You Know the Fair Rule is a comprehensive, practical, and realistic guide to effective practice. The skills and approaches outlined are derived from Roger's work in schools as a consultant and from his mentor-teaching in challenging schools.
This is a major revision of the second edition and covers:
- establishing classes effectively and positive discipline practice in the classroom
- working with children with behavioural disorders
- developing individual behaviour plans
- managing anger and conflict
- working with the challenging and hard-to-manage classes

Bill Rogers is undoubtedly the international guru of behaviour management. Although based in Australia, he spends at least 3 months of the year in the UK, running workshops and training for schools and universities.
Classroom management and discipline can be the most challenging part of an already demanding job. Every day, teachers face defiance, baiting, procrastination, argumentative behaviour, swearing and aggression, as well as the more typical disruptive behaviours like calling out and task avoidance.
You Know the Fair Rule is a comprehensive, practical, and realistic guide to effective practice. It acknowledges and addresses the challenges faced by teachers in dealing with these behaviour patterns and issues, and provides practical advice on such areas as:
- Establishing classes effectively
- Positive discipline practice in the classroom
- Working with children with behavioural disorders
- Developing individual behaviour plans
- Managing anger and conflict
- Working with the challenging and hard-to-manage class
- How to follow up with students beyond the classroom
- Effective colleague support.
Providing practical classroom strategies for use both in individual classes and across the school, You Know the Fair Rule will be welcomed by those who take on the most demanding job of all - teaching.
